The Week in Green Software: The Carbon Cost of Research Computing with Dr. Nick Souter


This Week in Green Software, Dr. Nick Souter from the University of Sussex explores how researchers can reduce the carbon footprint of scientific computing without compromising research quality. He shares practical ways to measure and optimise the energy use of fMRI data processing, including how removing unnecessary steps from a pipeline can cut emissions by around 50%. The conversation also examines responsible AI use, sustainable data storage, and how certification initiatives can make sustainability a standard part of scientific research.
